  1. And Jeffgamer's issue continues here today (Nov 9). Posted a note in his original thread, as it was the first I'd found. Here's a copy. Safari 11.1.2 OS X 11.6 (El Capitan) version 1.2 of the Geocaching maps I've been flipping over to Firefox when these get frustrating, but prefer Safari's ease of zooming the view with a pinch or spread of the fingers on the trackpad. Went through these steps with a new cache notice today: 1, Received notice of New Traditional cache placed (within my search area) 2. Clicked link in email message to open cache listing (in new Safari page) 3. Read description nd viewed small map. 4. Not enough context in small map, so clicked View Larger Map. 5. That opened Geocaching.com to a new tab showing "'can't find it' message in Safari: 5a. Munute marks were missing from coordinates, so added them to the cearch field and tried again, with same result as above). 6. Went back to cache listing page and copied coordinates (with no minute marks) to clipboard. 7. Opened new page in Safari, opened Google Maps using a bookmark, and pasted the cpied coordinates into the Google Maps search field. Map appeared with usual red teardrop at searched location and the usual (non-geocaching) labels 8. Returned to Geocaching.com page, clicked Play, chose Search, and pasted the copied coordinates into search field, Clicked Search (or magnifier). This opened the expected list of caches, with the one at the copied coordinates at the top of the list (as expected). 9. Clicked Map these Caches. and got the same can't find it" message as before.

Where do I find version number for the map? TW
  3. Had the same issue when automatically logged in with Safari. Launched Firefox, whch doesn't automatically sign me in, and was able to send a note to Groundspeak via their Contact us webform, then came here,found it was possible to read without signing in, and read the thread to here, noting the two posts reporting the same issue. Before attemptng to reply, I opened a new browser window in Firefox, went to geocaching.com, and manually signed in. The full screen pop-up quickly appeared. I clicked the button, and lo and behold… …the pop-up disappeared, and I was good to go. TW
  4. Less than eight days, if it's on schedule then. Fingers are crossed. TW
